J.J. Newberry Store (1921)
A one story-commercial block with two separate recessed entries flanked by plate-glass windows. Across the top of the terracotta façade is a broad panel with the words "J.J. Newberry Co." in script. The parapet contains hard edged, low relief ornamentation; while decorated brackets at the sides support the cornice. This is a relatively unaltered and rare example of a building type once commonly found on American Main Streets.
